Please don't take this as a slam against Overlander. But to add another shooting guard when we are losing two 6'7" players and only have two scholarships to give somehow doesn't mesh. We need at least one more body who can play in the paint.

We have two 6'8" forwards who will be seniors next year when this class comes aboard. The only two tall players left after that year will be Robinson and Mitchell. If the NBA offers an amount of money that's virtually impossible to turn down then Mitchell could well be gone.

I don't think that we have a prayer of getting Ibeh but there are a couple of big guys that aren't out of the question...yet. I just wish that we could've withheld announcing (or accepting) both Overlander and Pye until we know a little more about some rebounders/shot blockers who also might be able to add some points in the paint.

I hope that our recruiters know something that we don't.

I echo your sentiments exactly. Plus, without knowing whether Mitchell will be on board next year would cause some serious size issues. We need at least two bigs next year.

Don't we have an extra scholarship from one not being used in

previous years?

Not anymore. Patton filled our last open ship.

We have a full 13 on scholarship this year, 3 of them finishing eligibility after the season. Barring transfers or academic casualties, we have one open scholarship remaining for the 2012 recruiting class.

And what if a guy of Niem Stevenson's caliber decides to pull the trigger and commit?

Then we have all 3 filled with guards/swingmen and 2 post guys graduating... this is scary!

      Army is a good team

      You seem to have a lot of conviction when you say that. Have you seen this group play? Have you seen the coaching? Have you seen how we keep beating ourselves? Like I mentioned in another post, we are not a team to look at a schedule and pencil in wins. We’re not that good. Army has beaten bottom half programs they’ve faced. They beat another one yesterday.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      I’ve thought a lot about how different the game would have been had that not happened. We’re all pissed that we couldn’t score there, but we really did. Add to that the PI call and the fumble that was called an incomplete pass and it’s actually kind of shocking that we still could have won the game. The TD not being given to us is even more frustrating if you saw the TD that Bama was given. Instant replay really sucks sometimes. What’s the point if you can’t get it right?

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      It was hard to tell live from my position in the stands if McGill got the touchdown. The replay shown in the stadium wasn't conclusive. Hank asked Morris about it on the postgame radio show. Morris said 'that even on the tape on the sideline' it looked like McGill scored. From watching an ESPN highlight clip after the game it looked like he scored to me. I think you're referring to the fumble that was overturned by replay. It was so close. The DPI call on Nelson earlier in that drive made me absolutely nuts. Chandler's INTs were crushing. There was a mass exodus of people with green shirts on after the first pick. A bubble bursting type of moment.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      It was a touchdown. I'm also flabbergasted at how it wasn't overturned. That said, we failed to execute where we had control. Morris can't throw into coverage like on the first pic and can't throw that 2nd interception with Sides wide freaking open in the flat. There were other near pics during the game. Not sure what Morris was doing but his decision making was off all game.
